As much as I think Paul Harris deserved that love tap to the face, it's only fair that Shields gets disciplined for it. A deliberate punch after the bell is a punch after the bell...the context behind it was clear....but at the same time, Mr. Harris deserves a much worse punishment. I hope the commission and/or WSOF comes down hard on him...for once.

He should be subject to a fine and suspension I imagine and he will deserve it as unfortunate as it is. I wonder if they will investigate Palhares claims in the post fight interview that Shields greased himself?

At least he waited until after the fight to accuse him unlike he did against Marquardt.

Palhares did let go sooner then he did when he tapped Pierce..and if u look at the time, it was only a sec maybetwo secs at most when Palhares let go, i actually had no problem with it, as i was kinda expecting him to hold onto it longer..but Palhares has said even if u tap, hes not letting go tlll the ref jumps in..and plus it made me happy AF to see Palhares tap that lil beetch like that..dont talk that shit if u cant back it up..i could watch this gif all day..

"I did not hold his arm (after the tap)," Palhares said. "The [referee] said to me before the fight, ‘just go out there, if I put my hand on you, stop.' And when he put his hand on me, I stopped. I stopped. Sometimes in the fight, it's hard, it's difficult to feel something. When it felt it, I [stopped]."

Mazzagatti just started tapping. It probably felt like Jake tapping. As soon as Steve grabbed his arm he let go of the sub.

I didn't see any gouges. I saw Shields claiming to be gouged when you could clearly see that his eyes weren't getting gouged. No one saw the first gouges if they even happened. The camera angle didn't show Jakes face when they supposedly happened.

We saw Jake punch after the bell and fake being poked in the eyes. Yet most people are still taking Jake's word and saying Palhares should be banned for life...

Yeah, denying those thumb gifs is pure ignorance. Kinda sad to see some people on these forums denying it. I dunno....maybe they're trolling. But hey, whatever they feel necessary to fill in those wide, empty voids in their life with, I guess.

Was watching this fight with my buddy to see the shit show. We pointed out the eye rakes well before Jake said a word about to Mazzigatti, said those fingers look like they are in the eyes. Sure enough, that was the story of the next 7 minutes of the fight over and over again. It messed the fight up and I give no credit or respect to the cheater for his invalid win.
